    Rag joint replacement difficulty

    Go for the Jeep or Borgner steering shaft replacement, and ditch the rag joint completely

    Front indicators alternating when headlights on

    Mine does the same, after a complete wiring harness replacement. It's just the way it works

    Ignition won’t turn

    This is the one I used, along with a YouTube video, when I rebuilt mine

    Quality replacement steering box

    Yeah go with the u joint - getting rid of the rag joint is the whole point

    Lower steering shaft

    The whole thing needs to be disassembled, and the poster above is correct- must be pulled out via steering wheel end

    Cracking back into the column

    I finished a complete rebuild of my column last year and reinstalled. Everything was working fine, and tested, albeit not while running, to make sure my new shift linkage engaged my Trans properly. Fast forward to today - my wiring harness is finally finished, so I'm trying to start her up, but...

    Craziest antitheft idea yet.

    This is how mine is set up. Inhave a Pro Flo 4 system, so I have a kill switch on the line that triggers the fuel pump relay

    Neutral safety switch connector

    Another update. I got the tip of a flathead screwdriver red hot and sliced the nub right off. The connector slips on now and works

    Tracked down the fuel pump issue - I had the 12v wires for the fuel pumps and the senders crossed. Got that fixed up, turned to key on and both pumps now activate, depending on the switch selection. I wasn't planning on it until I could change the oil, but I got impatient and cranked it. It...

    Wiring Harness journal

    I ended up drilling holes in the frame, bed and body at 4 points and bolting in 3/8 studs. I ran ground straps to each and then thick battery cables to daisy chain all the grounding points together

    Wiring Harness journal

    That's how ive done most of my connections. Wire to wire is all soldered and shrink tuned. Connectoes that were non insulated were crimped, soldered and shrink tubed. I'm hoping I never have another electrical issue for rest of my life. Wait till you see the pictures of the massive grounding...

    I updated the post on the PF4 forum BTW. Was a dum dum moment on my end, I had a popped fuse

    I actually did purchase that already, along with the GPS speedo module and the shift indicator module. It's all been sitting in a box here in my office for months now, waiting for the rewire to finish

    Wiring Harness journal

    Back with another update. Almost exactly a year to the day after I started - (I know, I dragged ass. Not knowing what I'm doing, plus 110 degree summers with no shade, plus stopping midway through to completely rebuild my steering column all contributed) - I finally got the battery dropped back...

    How is everyone making their wiring look not a mess under the hood.?

    I'm STILL in the middle of a complete wiring harness, going on better part of a year now. BUT, I did buy Painless' looming as well. It's a pain to install, but looks great and keeps the wiring protected

    Firewall Steering Column grommet

    If it makes you feel any better, I had to tear mine down and reassemble probably 5 or 6 times till I had it right. On top of that, I collapsed my shaft trying to beat it into place, so then had to tack weld the shafts together. I used the same lower bearing you did

    Daisy chaining grounds?

    I'm currently rewiring my 77 K10 completely, and have started to make sure all the grounds are good. I've installed a few ground lugs at a few places. One at the driver side fender, one on passenger side frame and another at the frame towards the rear. I'll be installing another shortly behind...

    Neutral safety switch connector

    For anyone that stumbles on this in the future, the advice I got from Painless tech support was to cut the connector off and use generic spade connectors.

    I just used the normal stuff, it's worked pretty good so far

    Good info. I bought a pair of those, but 99 percent of my connections have been soldered and shrink tubed

    Must Replace Battery Tray 87 V10

    I replaced mine, plus added a second on the driver side. It wasn't terrible. I think I had to drill a hole through the fenderwell on both sides to bolt in the leg brace, otherwise was easy

    Wiring Harness journal

    Got most of the interior harness done today, including wrapping up and stowing any if the wires I'm not planning on using for right now. I have a few things left inside to do, including figuring out how to make the neutral safety switch work, as the provided connector doesn't fit my switch...

    Neutral safety switch connector

    I am finishing up a Painless harness on my 77 K10. I've been working on the cab interior wiring, but cannot get the neutral safety switch connector from the harness to connect. I replaced the switch itself with a brand new one when I rebuild my column earlier this year. It looks like there's a...
